[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1435486745' post='2809154'] Of course you won't like it if it's hip hop. I have never had a conversation with a middle aged white bloke about Kanye... or even classic hip hop (DMC/PE etc.) [/quote] I was going to make a comment along the lines of "a lot of us were listening to hip-hop when you were still a twinkle in your dad's eye" or suchlike... but to be honest, Skank has 'smashed it' so comprehensively with his comment that I don't think I'll bother

Brick House... oh my GOD how funky is that band?? Fantastic stuff. Anyone else noticed that the bassist has taped over the logos on his bass and his Ampeg rig?

Just listened to Awaken from the House Of Yes DVD soundtrack. And as usual, the confetti bit has brought a tear. Added poignancy this time. RIP big guy.

[quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1435483637' post='2809097'] This is music 2015 style. [/quote] It's one aspect of music 2015 style, yes. Thankfully not the only one.

Well strictly speaking, isolated bass and vocals. Feast your ears. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMJbJJldSNw[/media]

If I've taken away anything from that review, it's the assumption that this 'Agreeable' chap must've been starved of affection as a child or something.

Point of order, Mr Delvar. I was in Ms Moore's kitchen unblocking her waste disposal unit at the time of the event you describe, and from what I heard the nocturne in question was clearly a Debussy. Incidentally, a confidentiality contract Ms Moore required me to sign before the commencement of works prevents me from revealing what it was that I found the blockage to be -- suffice it to say that it no longer worked, even with a new battery.

It isn't "not paying them", it's "giving them [i]exposure[/i]", which as we know is just as valuable as being paid.

I'm sick and tired of it all. Does that count?

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1434198603' post='2797538'] I'm only 8 miles from Reading! [/quote] Just out of interest, whereabouts? I lived in Shinfield for 20 years

I've been playing 5s almost exclusively for well over 20 years. I still have 4s and they get used occasionally, but it's pretty much all 5. Bizarrely, I found that the more I got used to playing a 5, the easier it became to switch between a 5 and a 4 or vice versa -- the more I got accustomed to that extra string being there, the less I noticed it when it wasn't. If you see what I mean.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1433840568' post='2794362'] Returning to the main topic of this thread, I do think that the [b]BBC[/b] should be giving an opportunity for people to hear things that are significantly [b]left[/b] field. [/quote] [i]Dear Sir,[/i] [i]Your correspondent’s suggestion that the BBC should lurch even further to the left is typical of the sort of namby-pamby politically correct elite this country is now riddled with. Why, only the other day Binky and I were discussing this very subject and we both came to the conclusion that the best thing to do with the communist BB so-called C would be to have them all shot, and start again using decent hard-working [s]conservative voters[/s] families as their staff introducing decent hard-working values and an end to the politically correct namby-pamby nonsense the B so-called BC is now riddled with. It is a disgrace that in this day and age I can no longer shoot trespassers, and old ladies are mugged in their own cupboards and our borders are left open to literally billions of unwashed layabouts from Paraguay and other european so-called countries and the BBC namby-pamby elite stands by and does nothing to stop them. There is only one language these people understand and that is a damned good thrashing.
